Shetland RapeCrisis are looking for trustees to join their board.

No previous experience required, please see post below for more details and how to get in contact if you are interested.

💜 Are you interested in joining our board of trustees? 💜

At The Compass Centre we support people right across Shetland who have been affected by sexual violence. Our trustees help us make decisions, provide strategic direction for our charity and oversee governance to make sure we can continue to deliver high quality services for people who need them.

We're interested in hearing from women from all sorts of backgrounds, with a range of skills and who can bring different perspectives to our work. You don't have to have previous experience of being on a board or have a specific professional background - we'd love to hear from you if you share our values, are passionate about making a real difference in your community and can commit to a few hours of volunteering a month.

For more information or to arrange an informal chat about the role, please email us at [email protected]

We really look forward to hearing from you.

NHS Shetland are looking for hospital volunteers to support those who are spending time in hospital, particularly older people and those living with frailty.

See post below for more details ⬇

Hospital Volunteers Wanted

We are looking for volunteers to support people who are spending time in hospital, particularly older people and those living with frailty. Many patients are medically ready to move on from hospital care but may still be waiting for the next stage of their journey. During that time, a friendly face, a conversation and some encouragement can make an enormous difference.

Our volunteers provide companionship and encouragement to patients who may otherwise spend much of the day alone.

That might mean sitting and chatting, listening to stories and memories, reading together, playing cards or simple games, helping someone stay connected with family, or simply sharing a cup of tea and some conversation. For some patients, volunteers can also encourage them to spend time out of bed and remain active, with guidance from ward staff. The role is not about providing clinical care.

What may feel like a small act to you can have a lasting impact on someone else.
